[TenTec] Jupiter video + 238A review

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

If you can't make it to the factory the Ten Tec Jupiter video is the next 
best thing.  For ten bucks you get an 8 minute factory tour and 20 minutes 
on the Jupiter.  Since I was interested in both, $10 didn't seem like too 
much to pay.  Besides, since the video, hat and coffee mug don't have model 
numbers I figured they wouldn't be showing up on the used/demo list, so 
there wasn't any point in waiting.  Yes, I was kidding.  From the video I 
learned that the metal working part of the business was much bigger than I 
thought, and that product assembly and testing is more sophisticated and 
thorough than I had expected it to be.  For all you TT fans I suggest 
getting the video the next time you are phoning in an order.

The Feb. 2003 QST will run a product review of 5 feedline matching networks, 
one of which is the 238A.  ARRL members who can't wait can go to 
www.arrl.org, login and look at it under the Feb. 2003 product reviews.
